I thought that there were two other final drives for the 901 trans a taller then stock and a shorter one. If there is a shorter one does anyone know what the ratio is?
Thanks Blake Meredith new 914 project |

If there is a different one, it would be for the Sportomatic transmission, I believe. I don't think any of the regular ones have anything but 7:31, and the Sportos may even have had it as well.

yes other r/p sets exist, the sporto is a big source, rare and unobtanioum are the others.
Its easier and cheaper usually to change gears to suit rather than change the r/p and still have the same rpm drops between gears. Ive been living in a hotel room for the last 2 months, and dont have ready access to my manuals. they are 360 miles away as I type. You can keep your existng ring and pinion, and shuffle one or two of your exisitng gears, and then source one gearset to make a nice box.. why do you want to change the ring and pinion? |

Yep, the other r&p's were mostly used in race boxes so they are made of unobtaininum. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) |

I know about moving and fliping gears but the class I am going to run only allows a final drive change. I might not need one but was just wondering what was out there.
Thanks Blake Meredith |

Blake,
yes. Is it a PCA production class? I know some PCA production 914's in colorado (2 that I know of) that have a different R/P because of the rules. I think its the 6:29 you want, but I'm going from memory here. it will be legal in PCA, and drop all of your gearing. not cheap. I almost purchased one once, and chickened out. count your installation cost too... probably 500 at a lot of shops. brant |

I knew there was one. I just could not remember what it was. Chris if do not need the R&P let me know I might be interested. I am in the process of building an ITC 914. Although I do not have a car yet.
Thanks Blake Meredith |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I have been saving the R&P for a future IT project for myself but maybe its time for me to move on. PM me if you want it. |

Have it in your car or have in in your garage? We do still have one of those here at Carquip. It is a NOS unit, and it is far from cheap... |
